Domaine Jacques Prieur 2008 Corton Bressandes Pinot Noir (Corton-Bressandes)

$299
Very ripe, rich, structured wine, exuding power and concentration. It is packed with red fruits and damsons, creating a juicy character and tense mineral acidity. A magnificent wine, for aging.

$163
Dense, weighty and concentrated now, this wine will become opulent once the surface tannins finally integrate. The wine is superrich, with chocolate and licorice partnering with the intense fruit.

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Pinot Noir (Corton-Bressandes)
-
$155
There is a tightness to this wine, initially softened by ripe fruit, then coming through in the form of dark tannins, a stony terroir-driven layer of dryness, firmness and a potentially powerful structure. There’s no question, this needs to age—five years or more.
